“It’s that simple?”
Dongfang Liuyun narrowed her eyes.
Qi lei immediately raised his hand and said, “I swear it’s really that simple! I haven’t been to those romantic places for a long time. Even if I go in the future, I’ll have to bring you along.”
Dongfang Liuyun chuckled. “I won’t accompany you to places of low quality. Actually, I’m quite curious about how you messed around when you were a playboy.”
“When you have time, I’ll bring you to experience it for yourself, then you’ll know.”
Qi Lei smiled mysteriously.
Dongfang Liuyun drank the last mouthful of porridge in her bowl and moved it over.
Qi Lei tacitly filled another bowl for her as he asked, “Is the taste okay?”
“It’s improved a little compared to last time. Next time, use less water.”
Dongfang Liuyun gave a very pertinent evaluation.
“Why are you so busy today? You shouldn’t still be setting up the venue in the middle of the night, right?” Qi Lei asked.
Dongfang Liuyun took the bowl and handed it to him. “I didn’t. I had dinner with father and a few partners. I didn’t eat much, but I went back to the company later to get some things. Aren’t you going to eat?”
Qi Lei raised his hand to stop her. “No, I’m full from eating at Zimo’s.”
Dongfang Liuyun glanced at him and continued eating.
“By the way, where are the keys to the Cayenne in the garage? I accidentally scratched the car. You should apply for insurance tomorrow or sometime. It seems like it’s almost time for maintenance. If not, we can wait for when I’m free.”
“I remember that your driving skills aren’t bad.”
Qi Lei looked at her in surprise.
“Don’t look at me like that. You should know how tight the parking lot at the International Convention Center is. It wasn’t easy to find a parking space, but a BMW beat me to it. If that beautiful driver wasn’t so overbearing, I would have been generous enough to let her have it.”
“You two had a fight?”
Qi Lei looked at Dongfang Liuyun in surprise. With her personality, she would not take the initiative to provoke others, right?
“That’s not necessary. I should have let you admire my parking skills. Just as the woman turned the steering wheel and wanted to reverse in, I stepped on the accelerator and rushed in, one step ahead of her. I almost made the woman’s face turn green with anger.”
It was rare for Dongfang Liuyun to tell Qi Lei about these things, Qi Lei enjoyed listening to it.
“You’re quite impressive.”
“This is called strategy! When dealing with such people, you can only beat them by suppressing them better.”
Dongfang Liuyun smiled. Then, he lowered his eyes and continued to have her porridge.
Dongfang Liuyun finished three and a half bowls in a row before she was satisfied. She put down the bowl and went upstairs.
“Aren’t you going to wash the dishes?”
Qi Lei turned his head to look at Dongfang Liuyun’s figure as she walked up.
“I’ll leave it to you.”
As Dongfang Liuyun finished speaking, her slender figure disappeared from the stairway.
“You…”
Qi lei frowned. He did not know what else to say.
After packing up and returning to the bedroom, Dongfang Liuyun was still taking a shower. Qi Lei even helped her carry her briefcase up.
It was already past twelve o’clock. At this time, Grand Lake Villa district was very quiet. The wind outside was quite strong, and the rain had stopped for a while.
…
“Yang Sheng went over in the afternoon. I’ve also met the people that were arranged.”
After he was done, Qi Lei returned to the study to get his phone. Dongfang Liuyun was still packing up documents in the study.
“If you have any problems, just look for Yang Sheng directly. I’ll arrange for him to be your assistant for a while.”
“Yes, he told me. Oh right, on the night of the Mid-autumn Festival, we’ll go back to Tanshan Villa District for dinner. Then, the charity banquet will be held on the 16th. Can you arrange it on your side?”
“Don’t worry.”
Qi Lei replied and took his phone from the table. “Rest early. It’s getting late.”
…
He did not really rest before Qi Lei had to get busy again. While he was away in City B, a lot of work had piled up for him. For the next few days, he was like Dongfang Liuyun, leaving early and returning late.
Mama Wang had already returned from her vacation. Mama Wang usually prepared breakfast. For lunch, the husband and wife would make do in their respective company’s cafeteria. At night, Dongfang Liuyun would pick Qi Lei up when she drove past Tai Yu Corporation.
“President Qi, Dongfang Rou’er from Dongfang Group has called three times to make an appointment with you. She insisted on seeing you. Look…”
Qi Lei had just rushed back from the construction site. When he walked into the office, the newly transferred secretary, Bai Xiaowei, came up to him.
Dongfang Rou’er?
Qi Lei frowned. If he remembered correctly, this woman had made more than three appointments. She was really determined. Wang Chun had dealt with her a few times. If it was not for his Mrs. Qi, he would at least have had a different opinion of this woman.
After thinking for a while, Qi Lei replied, “Where is she?”
“She’s in the hall downstairs.”
“Let her in. I’ll only give her 10 minutes.”
Qi Lei put down the teacup in his hand and slowly walked towards the bookshelf in front of him. He tidied up the documents on the bookshelf.
…
Not long after, Dongfang Rou’er was led by his secretary, Bai Xiaowei, to Qi Lei’s office door.
“Alright, Rou’er, you can go in by yourself. If there’s no summons, President Qi doesn’t really like people near his office. It wasn’t easy for me to get promoted, and I’m still on probation, so…”
Bai Xiaowei was beautiful and generous. She was quite capable. She was the secretary that the Human Resource Department had just temporarily transferred to Qi Lei. It seemed like she was only on her second day of work here.
Bai Xiaowei and Dongfang Rou’er were schoolmates. Although they were not very familiar with each other before, they had gotten to know each other during the previous two alumni gatherings. Dongfang Rou’er had bumped into her when she came to Tai Yu Corporation a few times before.
Dongfang Rou’er had even specially invited her for afternoon tea twice, so the two of them could be considered to be somewhat familiar with each other.
“Thank you, Xiaowei. I can’t thank you enough for your help. Let’s make a proper appointment next time. I’ll go in first! Thank you!”
Dongfang Rou’er had a gentle smile on her face as she looked gratefully at Bai Xiaowei.
Bai Xiaowei smiled modestly as well. “It’s nothing. It’s nothing much. You can go in. I’ll be busy now.”
“Alright! Thank you!”
Dongfang Rou’er thanked her again, then gently knocked on the door and walked in.
As soon as she entered the office, a faint fragrance of Chinese eaglewood wafted over. It made her tense nerves ease. She subconsciously looked up and around, soon, she found Chinese eaglewood burning beside her. She looked inside and saw the owner of the office standing by the shelf, flipping through a document.
